i thought that he was fine in the offense; I don't know that the option was as much of an issue as the lack of sophistication in the passing game. When they brought Powlus in, the plan was to start to incorporate more advanced concepts and I believe that was Skip's role, but the problem was that everyone else on the team was recruited for a different system. I think that the other problem was that Ron (God bless him) was never really the same after his injury and definitely wasn't as athletic in his later years.

That said, I don't recall too many issues with Rick running the offense. I might be wrong.
